were to-day invited by very Rev, V. r. hayansugn,
c. NJ, president of the college and seminary OF
Our Lady of Angelo, to visit the college, when Is
about eight miles from the hotel; Ihere they
we're received by the college faculty and shown
over the grounds and the college band played

the seminary who had gathered in full force on the
lawns. -
After a speech by Dennis Kilbride, the party were
invited to dinner by Father Kavanaugh and the col
lege faculty.
On returning to the hotel Mr. O'Brien said to the
correspondent that, although he, was greatly eX-
haused and scarcely able to speak above his breath
he WAS determined upon going to Hamilton to-
morrow His friends are alarmed at this resolu'
ton, not because of their fear of another attack
there, though such attack is considered exceed
ingly probable, but because of the mere journey
itself and the effort of making another speech, are
likely to overpower him.

last night was held in the Paan rink. Two thousand
people crowded the building After O'Brien and

other Englishmen spoke. Resolutions condemning

The worst was TO come. Another attack was to be

owed the carriage as it wheeled into the square
There was sudden click; the horses pranced and
a flash of light suddenly overspread the building
where the men lurked. The reins dropped out OF
John Nelson's hands, and, with an exclamation
'Oh, my God, am shot" he fell forward on the
seat Crash crash! crash! quick as lightning, anC
through bright flashes of flame, sped the bullets
from two revolvers, until eight shots had beer
fred Mr.. O'Brien stretched forward to look ont
and, as he did 30, a ball whizzed by his face ant
passed through the opposite window, without harm
ing anybody. II. B. Brien, Nelson's companion
now grasped the reins, and lashed the horses
through the square into James street and down tt
the hotel
Here there was q hostile crowd who agair
hooted as the party within tried to open the car
riage door but could not Mcmahon jumped owe
the door and drawing revolver held the crowd a
bay while O'Brien and his friends were makinI
their exit from the carriage AS the party steppe'
into the corridor of the house a volley of rotteI
eggs was poured at them, but no one was hurt
Chief McKinnon and his men now rushed up, bu
all was over, and Nelson was taken to the city
